Above: Szabi, a young man that I believe to be demon-oppressed uncontrollably abuses his own body and often needs to be restrained by his teacher pictured with him. She told me after the show that he has improved a bit because of more treatment. She said that this is the only event they can take Szabi to view. He was able to watch the whole show without any outbursts. She was amazed.

This teacher also allowed me to enter her classroom (as I did last year) and pray for Szabi. Afterwards, in our conversation, she told me that there is not any hope except for hope in God. Because of the classroom setting, I was not able to pray in depth with Szabi, but I was thankful for whatever I could do in prayer.

After the show, the team was invited to have traditional fruit soup in the teacher’s lounge. One of the teachers joined us and shared many of the hardships and challenges of their school as they try to help these kids with developmental disabilities. As we stood up to leave, I asked her if there was any way in which I could pray for her personally. She then tilted her head down, and beginning to tear up she said,”My brother just died a few weeks ago.” With my hand on her shoulder, I asked the Lord for comfort and help for Gyöngyi (June-Jee). She was very appreciative of the prayer and commented on how much the puppet show was a blessing. Teammate Erika then spoke some more about God with her and was given her email address for further correspondence. We’re thankful for this open door to minister to a person mourning and with little hope. Please pray for Gyöngyi to see the light of Christ and find restoration and a new life through faith in Him.

Above: After each show, the children each receive an evangelistic workbook that has various stories, puzzles and games related to the Easter puppet show. The book, “Five Crucial Questions about Christianity” is distributed to teachers that attend. Please pray that these seeds of the Gospel will take root and flourish in the hearts of many.

We praise God for the puppet ministry running smoothly and for the opportunities we had today to share God’s Gospel and His love. Jennifer and Erika are now both well (praise God for healing). Allen woke up sick with a sore throat at 4a.m. last night but after prayer the pain left and he was able to go back to sleep. As a reminder, much of our physical restoration depends on a good night’s sleep which means each team member’s family also sleeping well. Please continue to lift us up in prayer so that we are best equipped to fulfill our calling in this ministry with the Lord’s abundant provisions.
